How it scores for you10 scores
Pleasant, right-sized, and easy to live with, but modest power, thirsty-for-class economy, and generic luxury credentials blur its case against rivals.
Recalled about half as often as cars of the same model years; 1 of its 8 recalls was serious. About 5% of its owner complaints describe a crash, fire or injury. Based on recalls and serious defect reports — it doesn't capture everyday repairs or problems fixed by warranty extensions. Adjusted -2 points for its wider reputation.
Not yet crash-tested by NHTSA, so this is scored as middle-of-the-road.
About $3,100 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 28% of cars we track.
22.5 cu ft of cargo space — more than about 42% of other SUVs we track.
Usable rear seat and 22.5 cu ft cargo; competitive within subcompact-luxury norms.
235-hp 2.0T and tidy size make it pleasant enough, with no sporting edge over mainstream compacts.
Rotary-plus-touch infotainment works fine; 2024 refresh added a 33-inch screen, lifting later cars.
Composed ride and decent quietness, but cabin materials read mainstream-plus rather than luxury.
Luxury brands like Cadillac tend to lose value faster than average.
Rated to tow 3,500 lb; all- or four-wheel drive available.
